AS far back as the Presidential
election of 1914 the Democratic CON-
paign song in Pennsylvania was,
"Polk, Dallas, Skunk and the Tariff
of I842". The "tariff of 1872" was
a Republican or Whig law passed
then, and passed to raise the country
from the deep depression and hard
times that brought about the over
throw of the Democrats and the elec-
ton of General Harrison as Presi-
dent in the celebrated campaign of
1910. Polk and Dallas were their
candidates tor President and Vice
President in 1874. and Skunk for thai
of Governor. The country had 50
suffered from low tariffs as to pro-
duce revolution 10 politics, in 1870
and put the Wings in power, the result
of which was the passage of the tariff
of 1912. 1t was popular aud working
well, doing great good. Hence the
Democrats dared not oppose it in
Pennsylvania in 1914. But outside
of Pennsylvania they did-and when
they came back to power through
the election of 1874. they repealed
the tariff of 1912, Dallas, Vice Presi
dent and Pennsylvania, giving the
casting vote to repeal it, This &C
tion, more than anything else, caused
them to lose Pennsylvania and th
confidence Of her people. And eve
since they have been playing "fas
and loose" on the tariff question, tn

Another Tariff 'Straddle.'


and perplexing one in the Demo-
cratic party. In slavery times the
South was opposed to a
protective tariff, as not need
ed to protect its slave labor.
The South dominated in the party
in those days But Pennsylvania
has always been protective tarin
State. and hence her Democracy has
often come in con flict with not only
the South but with the Democracy
generally OF the other States. The
same may be said with nearly the
same truth at this day, as witness the
recent struggle on the question IN
their party last week, in State Con-
yention at Allentown. The same
old question, protection, IS still at
the bottom. And the contest was as
to which ahould control, the Cleve-
land Carlisle faction, or the ka andall
one. Mr.. Randall is a leading Dem
ocra of Pennsylvania. He has been
kept in Congress mainly by Republi-
cans providing district for him
in which be could be elected. This be-
cause of his tariff views being similar
generally with those of the Republi-
cans. He has opposed his party in
Congress and aided to de-
feat it In lowering the
present tariff rates upon foreign
imports. He prefers to lower or take
off the tariff or tax on whiskey and
tobacco, rather than on foreign i'm
ports, in order to reduce the growing
surplus in the Treasury. But the
party outside of Pennsylvania say
no. and that the reduction of the sur
plus must be brought about by re-
| duction of the rates upon foreign I'M
ports. This was the issue between
the two wings of the party in this
State at their recent Convention,
Randall heading one and Congress
man Scott heading the other and
speaking for Cleveland's Administra-
ton. How was the matter settled!
1
Precisely as of old. A compromise
and a "straddle." They agreed to
reduce on both internal revenue
(whiskey and tobacco) and on i'm
ports. This is what they say In ef-
feet: "beyond the current needs OF
the Government the surplus should
be reduced by a reduction of internal
taxation and of duties on imports. "
Now these propositions are in direct
conflict. For if we reduce the reve-
nues by reducing "internal taxes, "
then we need not reduce the taxes on
imports" And one wing, Randall
& Co., haye been urging the reduc-
tion of internal taxes in order to pre-
vent the other, that on imports" +"
And the other wing, Scott & Co
have been opposing o reduction OF in
ternal taxes in order to make necessa-
ry reduction on foreign imports"
So here is where the "straddle" be-
came necessary. Both were inserted
in their platform and mean nothing.
And it will be observed that only
"the needs of the Government" is re-
ferred to. The idea of projection to
labor, or to our industries, does not
come in at all-is not mentioned
but only to reduce the revenue 8 to
the needs of the Government
Thus the party in this State is clearly
outside of the pr elective principle
They care nothing for it. They are
looking only to the surplus in the
Treasury and quarreling as to what
to cut down the most to reduce said
alleged surplus, which can well be
applied to public buildings, pensions
and other National objects.
